I agree with Sister Clair. Even if the subject has come up and been discussed
before, when a lacemaker joins us she had not had that experience. Also, even
if we have discussed a topic, there is the chance that someone will have
something new to say and we can all benefit. As Siste
Exactly my thoughts and those of the lace teacher in Gozo. She feels that
ironing does the same and even when I suggested doing that with the lace

Thanks for taking the time to reply to this question and that of the bangles
